The Ganga river broke all-time high-water records at three gauge stations in Bihar during the monsoon season. This event triggered one of India’s largest active flood responses, affecting around 22 lakh people across 14 districts. The flooding has been among the worst the state has seen in years, with thousands of houses submerged and roads cut off.
